Infoblox is the campus DNS and DHCP management system. Access to Infoblox for departmental technicians is provided after completion of a training session offered by IT Services.
Host records consolidate DNS, DHCP and IP address information in single place. A single host record is equivalent to creating A, PTR, and CNAME resource records for an IPv4 address. Host records should be used to provide a static IP to a system.
CNAME records are aliases for existing A or AAAA records, and can stand alone or as part of a host record. In the Infoblox GUI, the terms “CNAME” and “alias” are used interchangeably. All changes to records in Infoblox go through a workflow approval process to ensure data integrity.
MAC filters are used to make sure that the correct PXE booting options are sent to the correct clients in campus buildings occupied by multiple departments with local IT support.
